Covid vaccination centre signs
I note DfT has produced welcome guidance on signing for the above type of facility.
https://www.theihe.org/wp-content/uploa ... -signs.pdf
Unfortunately the guidance omits S13 GD16, which imposes a 6 month time limit for the sign to be in place. After which the SoS, (or appropriate Welsh/Scottish minister), needs to approve the sign. Not that anyone will object to the signs being there of course, but producing an authorisation now would be sensible, given that the vaccination programme stretching into the autumn is being talked about.
Also missing from the example signs is the S13-9-12 option for the map type symbol, see PDF file attached.
Equally unfortunate though, unless the legal position has changed, the authorisation needs to be done on an authority specific basis.

Patience is not a virtue - it's a concept invented by the dozy beggars who are unable to think quickly enough.
Re: Covid vaccination centre signs
Are there any examples of this out in the field yet?
Though roads may not put a smile on everyone's face, there is one road that always will: the road to home.

Re: Covid vaccination centre signs
I guess we'll all find out over the coming weeks and months
Although some are making the usual amount of effort for TTM signing

I can't find the post now, but there are some up for the Manchester centre at the Etihad Campus.

Re: Covid vaccination centre signs
Although the DfT PDF shows yellow background signs, any of the four colour combinations shown on the attached would be lawful.

Re: Covid vaccination centre signs
On motorways I’d go with the white on blue.
Primary A roads should have black on white.
And local roads closer to the center should then switch to black on yellow.

Re: Covid vaccination centre signs
Except the guidance calls for consistency, hence why they've gone for yellow I suspect.
